Five More Pounds

[Hannibal]

When I look at a 5 pound plate, I see years of work for 5 more pounds! I see torn and pulled muscles, for 5 more pounds! I see hours in the gym bustin ass, for 5 more pounds! I see stacks of journals and books read, for 5 more pounds! I see the number of conversations I have had about sticking points, for 5 more pounds! I see the number of friendS and family who supported me, for 5 more pounds!, I see years of woundering will I ever get back from this, for 5 more pounds!, I see the scars on my body, for 5 more pounds! I see the amount of money spent, for 5 more pounds! I see training on Christmas day, for 5 more pounds! I see the huge puddle of sweat in the dead of summer, for 5 more pounds! I see the pain of rehab (many times) for 5 more pounds! and I feel the accomplishment and self pride when I finally make that extra 5 more pounds!
THEY SEE A PLATE!

When I see a 2.5lb plate in the morning, I put a little sugar on that shit and eat it for breakfast.
